Egypt Cracking Down on Journalists

Mostafa Souag is the director of news for Al Jazeera. He says that six Al Jazeera journalists in Egypt were arrested and then released, but without their cameras. Egyptian authorities have also shut down the Al Jazeera office and revoked their accreditation. Souag says that the authorities are "trying to prevent Al Jazeera from providing people with what's going on."

“
Yes, this is just a continuation of what the authorities in Egypt have been doing with the media…. Today they arrested six of our journalists from the English Channel, but they released them later on, and they kept the camera with them.
